The reason the torpedoes run close to the surface is because when fired from the FFG or Helo, the Mk50 and Mk54's in LWAMI 3.02 default to run at 10ft under the surface when preenabled, which is close enough to the surface that occasionally break the surface. This is easy to change, and in the works for LWAMI4.

The seeker range on the Mk50 and MK54 in LWAMI 3.02 is 2300m against the most salient targets.
